W Center & Maple Sts (3rd building)

The original school was in a log building in 1835. In the 1850's this building was outgrown and property bought on corner of W Center & Maple Sts in 1861. By the close of 1862 a large one-room brick school was needed, so an addition was made to the S side with an addition added in 1869. This building fell into disrepair, probably due to poor quality bricks. In 1882-83 a large, beautiful Victorian schoolhouse was built. Of course that too was outgrown and an addition was needed and was erected shortly after WWI (after 1918) Then the school district purchased the local opera house in 1937 and remodeled it, making it into a gymnasium, classrooms, restrooms and shower facilities. A school bus was purchased in 1938 to transport 56 rural students. On October 12, 1943 a fire gutted the entire High School. It is a day that many will never forget. Throughout these turbulent years the process of consolidating was taking place. In 1944 the districts of Howard, Lutten, Cross, Cochran, Stoddard, Dewey, Mann, W Brick and Pardee, along with Reynolds a few years later, annexed to Concord. In 1955 Concord Community Schools was formed. In 1956 and 1960 W and E wings were added to the school. In 1962 Pulaski and Riceville also annexed to Concord. In 1964 construction on a new High School building was begun. History of Concord Schools. p 5-8 including many photos
